CT Planning has successfully secured planning permission for the change of use and extension of a former Bothy building to form a new residential dwelling in Stafford. The application site is located in a highly sensitive area, it once formed the original grounds and gardens of the adjacent Grade II* listed Bishton Hall. The site comprises various garden buildings and structures, with the garden area itself is recognized as a non-designated heritage asset. Initial objections were raised by the Conservation Officer regarding the scale and design of the development, and its impact on the setting of nearby heritage assets. CT Planning with support from RPS successfully argued that the dilapidated condition of the present site, appears inconsistent with the modern alterations that have taken place within the immediate surroundings. Therefore, by delivering a sustainable future use for the building, it would help to preserve the historic character and appearance of the Bothy and enhance its contribution to Grade II listed Bishton Hall and Bishton Hall Park. With the assistance of Ecolocation and NOVA Acoustics, concerns relating to ecology and noise impact were also addressed, to successfully bring forward this project.
